Amid the ongoing West Asia conflict, India-flagged LPG tanker Green Sanvi successfully crossed the strategically sensitive Strait of Hormuz, becoming the seventh such vessel to do so. Carrying around 44,000–46,000 tonnes of LPG, the tanker used a designated corridor through Iranian waters, reflecting coordinated diplomatic efforts between India and Iran. The move highlights Iran’s willingness to allow “non-hostile” nations safe transit, with India leveraging historical ties to secure energy routes. Despite this progress, about 17 Indian vessels remain in the region awaiting clearance. The development is crucial for maintaining India’s cooking gas supply amid global disruptions. (PC: India Today)
